General Description

17-4PH is a martensitic, precipitation hardening stainless steel with Cu and Nb additions. The grade combines high strength to approximately 316℃, and a moderate level of corrosion resistance.

17-4PH is capable to obtain a wide range of mechanical properties depending on the precipitation or aging temperature. The corrosion resistance of 17-4PH is similar to 304 stainless steel and superior to that of the 400 series martensitic stainless steels.

Applications of 17-4PH include aircraft structural parts, fasteners, pump shafts, valve parts, chemical process equipment and nuclear components.
